Sundance Film Festival 2020

The Biggest Film Festival

Vivos

Vivos
Late September in 2014, students of Iguala, Guerrero were attacked by police forces and masked assailants resulting in the deaths of 6 students while 43 were kidnapped and never showed up.

Ever since then, the families have lived in a loop of psychological and emotional turmoil with unanswered questions regarding the epidemic violence perpetuating in the Mexican society. Vivos is a lyrical approach to humanizing victims with intimate interviews and a meditative focus on the unsolved humanitarian crisis. Ai Weiwei through this doc affirms that each victim is vivo (alive) in the hearts of their loved ones.
